Common Reasons for an Upgrade

There’s usually a clear reason behind a panel upgrade whether your current panel is unsafe, undersized, or simply outdated, here’s what typically drives the decision:

Tripping breakers or flickering lights
A sign your panel can’t keep up with your home’s electrical demands.
Adding high-demand appliances (EVs, hot tubs, HVAC)
These systems require more power than most older panels can safely handle.
Renovations or additions
New square footage often means new outlets, lighting, and power needs.
Outdated fuse boxes or unsafe brands
These panels are fire hazards and are often flagged by home inspectors
Insurance or resale requirements
Many insurers and buyers require modern electrical systems before moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of upgrading an electrical panel?

Most electrical panel upgrades cost between $2,000 and $4,50, depending on the type of panel, amperage, wiring conditions, and whether a full panel replacement is needed.

How do I know if my panel is outdated?

If it’s 25+ years old, uses fuses, or is a recalled brand like Stab-Lok, it’s time for an electrical panel replacement to meet modern safety and code standards.

Can I upgrade my panel if I plan to install solar panels?

Yes. Before installing solar, we recommend a full electrical panel inspection to ensure your system can safely support the additional load.

Why should I consider a 200-amp service upgrade?

A 200-amp breaker panel upgrade supports EV chargers, hot tubs, HVAC, or future renovations, giving your home extra capacity and reducing the risk of overload.

What are the dangers of Stab-Lok panels?

Stab-Lok breakers have a high failure rate and often don’t trip properly. Replacing these panels is critical to reduce electrical fire risk and ensure safe performance.

What is the process for a panel upgrade?

Panel upgrades start with an assessment and quote, followed by permitting, electrical panel installation, and inspection. A licensed electrician handles each step.

Can I do my own electrical panel upgrade?

No. In Alberta, only certified electricians can legally perform home electrical panel upgrades or replacements. DIY work on panels is unsafe and not code-compliant.
